Neeko Build
the Curious Chameleon
Hailing from a long lost tribe of vastaya, Neeko can blend into any crowd by borrowing the appearances of others, even absorbing something of their emotional state to tell friend from foe in an instant. No one is ever sure where—or who—Neeko might be, but those who intend to do her harm will soon witness her true colors revealed, and feel the full power of her primordial spirit magic unleashed upon them.
The most played Neeko Support build on patch 26.21 runs Arcane Comet with Manaflow Band, Transcendence and Scorch, plus Cheap Shot and Ultimate Hunter from the secondary tree. Take Flash and Ignite. Start with Health Potion, then build Zaz'Zak's Realmspike, Hextech Rocketbelt and Sorcerer's Shoes, followed by Zhonya's Hourglass, Shadowflame and Rabadon's Deathcap. Max Q (Blooming Burst) first, then E (Tangle-Barbs), then W (Shapesplitter). It has a 48.2% win rate and a 1.9% pick rate.
